The rise of LSU Tigers linebacker Patrick Queen throughout the draft process felt a bit fishy to me before I watched him in depth. Queen was on and off the field for LSU's first handful of games in 2019 before eventually emerging as a starter. All throughout the season, Queen had gone relatively unheralded, in part because LSU's defense under coordinator Dave Aranda was underperforming relative to the high expectations fans and analysts set for them. It was not until LSU's final push for a championship over the last few weeks of the season in which Queen started gaining steam as a prized draft prospect.
